i was thinking something like the old A frame booms but shorter so it would lay flat in the bed. then run a pto winch or hydrolic off pto pump. that should be pretty beefy for most trucks

 

what on gods green earth is this guy thinkin???

i was gonna tell him something helpfull till i read the whole thing then i was like screw it imma leave it alone.

 

Thanks. Actually, the particular job she wanted me to do was something for me. Had to clean one side of the garage. All the excess inventory, servers and office equipment which didn't fit into the storage unit when we closed the Atlanta office has been on one side of the garage. My Roush F150 has been in the other side.

I've been eBaying stuff out of the storage unit for the past month (made $3400! ) so now there is space. I moved almost everything from that side of the garage into storage. I've really been wanting to do this because that side of the garage is longer and I'm going to put the Roush on that side. It has space for the truck, my rolling tool box, the air compressor and tools, engine hoist and engine stand. I plan to take out the engine and will be rebuilding it with 550-600 RWHP in mind.

 

Hey Ken,
How 'bout some rep for all the minions for being good lately.

 

good idea!!!!

 

Man, I go away for the weekend and you guys go and get the original thread maxed out AGAIN! It gets closed and a new thread opens with 4 more pages of reading! Don't you fellas ever take time out to go fix things or wheel?? Now that I'm done whining like a small girl, back to the point.....


Back before wrecker wheel lifts became really popular and boom lifts were the norm, they had retractable units that bolted in the bed floor of regular pick ups. They were mainly used by repo guys to be able to drive up unnoticed, flip up the boom, hook and book. The only problem was they were bulky and took up the entire bed. But if you wanted to use it only as a recovery tool, that would be the way to go!

 

HEY!!!!!!!.......i worked a little this weekend....i got my front brake brackets done!!! what did YOU do?

 

I finally got some time in the machine/bike shop to put my Buell motor back together. I know, I know, a bike isn't a truck, but there is something about a 400lb Harley Davidson made bike that only has a 74" motor that puts 101hp and 108 ft/lbs torque to the ground!!

 

sounds like my ranger....

 

Yeah, but I bet my bike weights a whole lot less than your Ranger. It's kinda fun having a Harley that can go 160+ mph! It's freaks most of the cruiser guys out when I pull into the local dealership with it and they hear it sounds like a HD, but looks nothing like one. I'll have to get some pics of it up when it goes back together in a few weeks.

 

my ranger makes alot of noice (no cats, 2.5" flowmaster, dumps out the back of it) but it is slower than mallases(sp?), maybe 100hp 5ft/lb's of tq(not a typo)......lame!

id like to see some pics of it

 

Yeah im up for some rep. I wondered where everyone went on me.

 

That sounds awesome. But fast bikes scare the hell out of me, my dad's dyna custom (i think thats what its called) is too fast for me.. haha! I'll go as fast as you want on 4 wheels, but I don't trust myself on a bike

 

I like going fast... but normally on 4 wheels. We have a 83 superglide 1340... and it scares me. But I'll rip around on the trx450r all day 75+

 

PSHHHHHHHHHH........

absolutely disgusting yfz......i love the suspension($$$$$), steers like a dream

but i prefer the quadzilla b/c its better suited for the fatter riders.....just alot of engine work, stock suspension.....
